At 12 weeks old you do. It have to mix water in his food and he can have water any time. If you are house training, it does help to limit it before bed though. The loose stool can be from stress of a new Home and environment or parasites or a viral infection. I would have your check a stool sample to see if medication is needed to clear this problem
